Yes, that looks good. You could add a slash between the word Firefox and the version number (which I should have included above). NOT Firefox/3.6.8 > I changed it to that, but the Hotmail page still doesn't work. Try clearing cookies for hotmail. Maybe they implant something in a cookie about your browser. I've tried it with my 1.1.17 and it works. My wife uses SeaMonkey and has a hotmail account. > Also, what should show up on the tekrider page? Mine says this: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.22) Gecko/20090605 SeaMonkey/1.1.17 NOT Firefox/3.6.8 (Ubuntu-1.1.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1) The code on my page just reads the UA string, same as all those other web sites do, trying to determine your browser. Obviously, it will vary depending on versions and operating system, but will be very similar. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
